QUIT

The server process acknowledges the QUIT command and then closes the
connection to the client. This is the preferred method for a client
to indicate that it has finished all its transactions with the NNTP
server.

If a client simply disconnects (or the connection times out, or some
other fault occurs), the server should gracefully cease its attempts
to service the client.
